Sole victory came on second start over 7f at Chelmsford back in November 2016 when with trainer-Denis Coakley. Second of 14 here last month but may find a couple quicker here over this trip.

Lady Nathaniel¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 70

6/1

Went well in 1m2½f maiden here in early October before a promising second of 13 beaten a neck behind Unpretentious over C&D when last seen in November. Worth a market check but may need the comeback run.

Saga Altais¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: W T Byrne⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 69

10/1

Second of nine beaten ½L over C&D in March and any repeat of that run puts him in the mix here under competent 10lb claimer.

Form: 4567-29

Jackmel^p1,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: M J Smith| OR: 66

12/1

Five-race maiden on the AW, shaped with some degree of promise on return from 431-day absence in Dundalk apprentice contest over 1m4f. Placed here over C&D but plenty to prove.

Form: 72/26-60

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L F Roche| T: P J Flynn| OR: 65| CD

Forecasts

Masalai (9/2), Queluz (11/2), Lady Nathaniel (6/1), Annie Fior (15/2), Saga Altais (10/1), Coreczka (10/1), The Lords Walk (10/1), Sleepy Head (10/1), Military Hill (11/1), Jackmel (12/1), Shelbe (14/1), Tomwontlisten (16/1), Challow (20/1), Bien Chase (22/1), Lady Rosebud (25/1), La Cumparsita (25/1), War Room (25/1)

The Ger Lyon's-trained Lady Nathaniel likes to get on with things from the front here and may have Saga Altais for company in the early stages. THE LORDS WALK was a winner over 7f in March beating 13 rivals by 1¾L on his last start here and can take this competitive contest with distance winner Queluz and C&D winner Masalai both worthy of consideration.
